Growth Hormones As Food ContaminationWhy would anyone put growth hormones in your food? Well they aren't. Someone is not injecting your food with hormones. Alright. Then how did it get there? Small family farms working in unison with nature have been replaced by industrial farms. The faster an animal grows, the faster they are ready for market. This results in a faster return on investment for the manufacturer. Hormones in feed produces a faster turnover for the manufacturer. Trouble is that the hormones get into the tissues of the animal. Then you eat this meat. Even if its only trace amounts, it is still there. Have you ever wondered why more and more children are reaching puberty early? The ten or eleven year old girl with breasts. Children taller than previous generations. Is this all just evolution or is there something else at work here? We have the hormones and then there are pesticides. Whether or not hormones are the single cause or there is a combo effect, the result is the same. My point is that evolution does not produce such a marked change in one generation. As a mom looking to sensibly change your diet, you would fit
organic
or even
natural foods
into your meal plan whenever you can. Return from Growth Hormones to Food Additives
